and she takes another step
slowly she opens the door
check that he is sleeping

pick up all the broken glass
and furniture on the floor
been up half the night screaming

now it's time to get away
pack up the kids in the car
another bruise to try and hide

another alibi to write
another ditch in the road
you keep moving

another stop sign
you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast

wonder how I ever made it through

and there are children to think of

baby's asleep in the back seat
wonder how they'll ever make it
through this living nightmare

but the mind is an amazing thing
full of candy dreams and new toys
and another cheap hotel

two beds and a coffee machine
but there are groceries to buy
and she knows she'll have to go home


another ditch in the road
you keep moving

another stop sign
you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast

wonder how I ever made it through

another bruise to try and hide

another alibi to write
another lonely highway in the black of night
there's hope in the darkness

I know you're gonna make it

another ditch in the road

keep moving
another stop sign
you keep moving on

and the years go by so fast
silent fortress built to last
wonder how I ever made it
